SAN ANTUNIO'S SENSATION.
Great Interest Manifested IN the Frank
Scott Murder Trial.

Great Interest Manifested IN the Frank
Scott Murder Trial.
Special to the Gazette.
SAN ANTONIO, TEX, Jan. 3l.-Frank
Scott, charged with the murder of Frank
Harris on September 10, 1884, was placed
on trial this morning for murder in the
first degree. He is jointly charged with
his old father, T. j Scott, in the same
cri e. This is the case which created
such sensation few months ago by the
finding of Harris skeleton in the robbers
cave in the now famous Helotes settle
ment In BeXar county. The gre atest
interest is manifested IN this trial
for the reason that there is
much of the mysterious mixed up in it,
and for the further reason that the
principals and many who will be called as
witnesses are supposed to know more
than they will tell about the famous
band of murderers, cut-thrOatS and stage
robbers who made the cave their home
and whose bloody crimes eliminated in
the murder of Marshal Costing.
A motion for continuation in
this case was overruled. The
court is engaged in hearing
a motion for change OF venue and evidence
on an affidavit alleging that the prisoners
cannot get justice in Bexar county. All
the evidence in the case is circumstantial,
but Of such nature as to make COM
plete chain.

man in the House is Stewart of Texas.
He will tip the scales at $50 pounds, and

long is required to ascertain his exact
height. He is en- accomplished lawyer,
and when he first came to Congress every
one expected great things of him. He
has taken no active part, however, in the
deliberations of the House, and is as
silent as the tomb on the floor. He is a
tirst-rate worker in his quiet way, and 8
good committeeman and pushes the mat
tiers of interest to bis state with
signal success. HIS efforts last year
in benalf of liberal appropriations for the
rivers and harbors of Texas will be well
remembered, and as 8 member of the
rivers and harbors committee he has
served Texas we'll. Mr.. Stewart is very
reserved in his manner, aud when talking
to newspaper correspondents Is very
cautious in what he says.
In striking contrast to Stewart, and
seated near him, is General Joe Wheeler
Of Alabama, who is about five feet high
and weighs perhaps 100 pounds. He is q
wiry, nervous man of fifty summers, talks
in jerky way. He, is graduate of
West Point, class of 1859, and was CON-
missioned IN the Uaited States army as
lieutenant of dragons and served in
Kansas and New Mexico. He
resigned in 1861 and was ap-
pointed as lieutenant of artillery
in the Confederate army, and commanded
an infantry brigade at the battle of Shi-
lob; was promoted and appointed to the
command of the army corps of cavalry of
the western srmy, continuing In that po-
ton till the war closed, and on the death
of General Stewart he became the senior
